This is an application time configure option.

Some BSPs on hardware with non-contiguous address spaces
may assign one to workspace and one to heap. Sebastian added
that for the plethora of CPUs with on-chip RAM areas and off-chip
and slower RAM.

Most likely, there is a mistake in the memory map as you
suggested in the previous email.

There are some debug prints in bspgetworkarea and other places
which can give hints but definitely check the address ranges passed
to the two invocations, where you have reserved the stack you
are initializing the system on, and your .bss section. Sounds like
you have an overlap or are pointing to non-existent memory
